Stu - the bonnet is really light aint it.... almost as light as the supra's 
Skyline bonnet must weigh the same as a small human 
TNM - its her car..... She will be the reg'd owner and keeper.... just not so sure if she will be able to get a Ins Quote under her own name, ken 
Supra even has hollow fibre carpet strands to save weight!!! anal or what!!

See, I always wanted an Evo, but this P1 has really grown on me. 2 door Scoob is a real headturner and well rare!
I bought a PSI/SECS monitor - 1 plug into a port under the dash and it tells you everything. Knock correction, boost, voltage, intake temp, lambda, throttle position, oil temp, water temp, oil pressure, speed, revs etc. Not only that, you can rig it as a shift light, to spray your intercooler automatically, holds all peak values, flashes warnings, reads fault codes and can reset the ECU..........AND a clock as well!!! Hehe!
I just use that with a seperate boost gauge as the boost on the secs monitor is hard to read - Still good that it holds the peaks tho!
knocklink is a serious must!!!
